  1. eBay are full of them. Just search "CREE <insert bulb type here> Bulbs" and you'll find a bunch of them in various colours.
  2. Sucks to hear about your wheel man. Bloody potholes! You can never avoid them all no matter how hard you try.
  3. Yeah can't wait man. Yeah when I first saw it I forgot that it took 6 weeks for the bulb to arrive in the first place. Definitely worth it.
  4. I tried to remove my tax disc holder today and quickly realised I wouldn't be able to put it back on. So before I tear it all off I decided to buy a replacement one first: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161194312390 Just a plain and simple Honda one. I prefer the shield types because you don't have to take them off to put a new tax disc in. Also pictures of my CREE interior bulb as requested. Lights the whole panel up in person. It's like day time! And yes that cassette player will be going at some point.
  5. I live on the first floor, I don't have access to a hose to wash the car myself.
  6. I'd wager on it being the wheel not sitting on the hub properly. How bad was the rubbing without spacers? Could you possibly shave the calipers a bit so you have clearance?
  7. I bought a CREE bulb for my interior light in November. It only just arrived this morning. Damn overseas post! Didn't waste any time fitting it of course. So that little LED is apparently very bright. Old bulb. CREE. Actually looks bright in the day. Can't wait to see it at night. Also I had to drive through wet mud again. Can't wait to give this to the hand car wash down the road. Make those b****rs earn that fiver!
  8. To go with my 4x4 stance, I got some 4x4 mud streaks! Hopefully it doesn't rain anytime soon. The mud covers up the awful bumper alignment.
  9. It grips a bit too well now. No fun out of junctions anymore.
  10. Surely it doesn't take two months to paint a spoiler?! I'd go round there and ask what's the hold up.
  11. Is that a Skunk2 gear knob in the box? Be careful if it's one of those fake neo-chrome ones off eBay. They don't last long. I had one for my EU7 a while back and after 5 months half the metal coating had peeled off. Looked awful so I binned it after. Shame really because it felt good to use. I think I'll spend the extra money for a genuine one next time. Nice going on the MG ZS rear ARB!
  12. It only covers the Aerodeck which doesn't have the same boot bulb. Argh just my luck. That's a very handy resource though, thanks for pointing it out.
  13. Very tidy MA9! Can't wait to see how it progresses. The D15Z3 has 90bhp. It's the D15Z8 that has 115bhp, which comes from the MB3.
  14. That's good to hear. The Marangoni tyres didn't have as many grooves, which probably was the reason why they did so poorly in the wet.
  15. Damn it. Guess I'm stripping half the boot this weekend.
  16. So my replacement front tyres turned out to be these: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Kenda/KAISER-KR20.htm They feel better than the worn Marangonis that were on before so I'm not too bothered about the average scores. Hopefully I'll end up with a matching set of 4 when I get the rears done in a few months.
  17. When opening my boot, my boot light goes on and off depending on the height of the boot. When fully closed I have no boot light but if I lower it about an inch the light comes back on. I'm guessing it's a loose connection but I'd rather ask on here before I start tearing out my boot carpets. Edit: It's an LED bulb if that makes a difference. Has worked fine for 6 weeks prior.
  18. Sort of. I get a £50 monthly allowance for whatever the car needs, which is usually just petrol. The rest comes out of my pocket unfortunately. I don't mind though because the car belongs to me and all these little expenses are just going to make the car nicer to drive later on. My OCD unfortunately has to yield to my wallet. Well it only cost me £2.60 and comes with different sized threads so I figured I could sell it on and buy a black one if I don't like it.
  19. My Marangoni tyres appear to be at the end of their lifespan now. The rough tarmac at work caused a small leak in one of the front tyres and they're too cracked to repair properly so I need a new tyre. Personally I'm not a fan of mismatched tyres across the same axle so I just asked for both to be replaced. If my rears don't follow suit in the next few weeks I'm having them replaced in the summer. Since my local garage don't carry my tyre size they just gave my tyre a temporary repair that'll last a few days while they order the tyres in. Tomorrow I go back to get the new tyres fitted. On the bright side, my bee sting aerial came today. Didn't expect it to be silver (the pictures looked black!) but I'm sure it'll look good once I have it on the car.
  20. I just want to tick off everything on my current shopping list for the MB3. Ticked off alloys on New Year's Day so I'm off to a good start! - Front lip - Alloys - Lowering springs - Short ram air filter - Exhaust backbox - Headunit and speaker upgrade - A general tidy up of the exterior Once I get the MB6 in a few months I'll have to add a shopping list for that too.
  21. Are they plug and play on Civics? Went to visit the parents this weekend,so I decided to snap a picture of the MB's together. Soon.
  22. Hopefully I'll get another chance to attend a meet with you in the MB3 before I get the MB6. I can't not drool over a Sicilian Red MB, especially one that low. Do it! Also may I ask where you got your smoked side repeaters from?
